Do greet Cambodians as like they greet you

Do greet Cambodians as like they greet you. Handshakes and physical contact in public is not an accepted norm. Especially between a man to a women or vice versa.
Do try local specialty such as Amok and Num Bachok.
Do watch traditional and cultural dance shows which are available in various restaurants.
Do visit a local market in the morning to experience a daily life of the local.
Do ask for permission before taking photos of others.
Do bargain when buying things. Bargaining can be an enjoyable experience in interacting with the locals.
Do learn some words in Khmer such as “Hello” or “Thank you”.
Do take off hat and shoes before entering a Khmer home and pagodas.
Do take up the opportunity of staying with a Khmer family, a great way to experience the life-style of the locals.
Do buy Khmer souvenirs before returning to your home country.
